Verse 1: 
    D       D                    D            D 
A bus station, in the steam from the rain 
      Bm          A        G                       D   D 
In this line of pale strangers, should I go or stay? 
                    D    D                  D          D 
The whole field of vision, fades beneath me now 
         Bm          A              G            
And the houses spread for a million miles, 
               D   D 
in this gray town 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
          Bm        Bm7           G              A 
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand 
           Bm        Bm7           G              A 
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance 
           Bm  Bm7  A 
Would you fall to pieces 
           Bm  Bm7  D 
Would you fall to pieces 
           Bm  Bm7  A 
Would you fall to pieces 
               D        D 
In the high countries?  
Verse 2: 
            D      D               D     D 
We are just pilgrims of the great divorce 
     Bm             A               G                        D 
I am witness to the light and I am captive to my own remorse 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
        Bm        Bm7           G              A 
And the weight of glory, if you held it in your hand 
        Bm        Bm7           G              A 
It would pass right through you, so now's your chance 
 
(Chorus)  
 
Bridge: 
              A          Bm             G             D 
You drink the cup to the bottom, but it burns in your hands 
    A              Bm         G        A 
The cup was poured out on the Maker instead 
 
 
Verse 3: 
           D          D            D     D 
Out on the green plains, I am but a ghost 
     Bm       A                G                          D   D 
Bound up with all that I call mine; still the light grows 
 
(Chorus 2x)
